Sydney is a great place to begin your bucket-list journey. Take in the atmosphere of the harbour as you sit in awe in one of the most famous places, with the bridge and opera house as the perfect backdrop. Take the ferry for probably one of the most breathtaking journeys as you leave the city behind for the more laid-back and costal vibe of neighbouring Manly. Then it’s time to embark the elegant Queen Anne as you sail up the East Coast, taking in Brisbane, the Whitsundays and more. Your final destination will be Hong Kong, a total contrast to the city you began this adventure. Spend two-nights here exploring Victoria Harbour, take a scenic tram up Victoria Peak and be met by dazzling city views. As night falls on the city, it comes alive with the Symphony of Lights as the skyline illuminates with colour.

Darwin
Situated on the remote northern shores of Australia’s ‘Top End,’ balmy Darwin has matured from its early days as a true frontier settlement to become a welcoming, lively and multicultural modern city.
Your guide to Darwin.
Darwin is a thriving, multifaceted city and capital of Australia’s Northern Territory – one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions in the country. Built on the Timor Sea, the city is the gateway to some of Northern Australia’s most striking natural scenery, while its proximity to South East Asia has fuelled Darwin’s status as a bridge between the country and neighbouring Indonesia. Colossal mountains, verdant grasslands and sprawling national parks surround Darwin’s bustling urban centre, while characterful taverns, unique cultural attractions and a fabulous assortment of fresh fish restaurants reinforce the city’s welcoming, congenial feel.
